IMPROVEMENT IN CORSETS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 196,403, dated October 23, 1877.; application filed August 31, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AARON M. VEBER, of the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, h( ve made certain new anduseful Improvements in Corsets, of which the following is a full description, reference ing a part of this specication, in which- Figure 1 gives a perspective view of the back of the corset. Fig. 2 is aydew lookingat the side. Figs. 3 and Il are detailed outlines of the pattern after which my improved corset is' cut.

rlhe object of my invention is an improvement on Letters'Patent granted to me April The nature of my improvement is to so construct a corset as to impart a more natural and graceful carriage to the upper part of the body, and at the same time give ease and comfort to the wearer.

My improved corset is cut goring in the back, to give it the desired concavity, as shown in Fig. 2 3 the back being gored and sewed together, the whalebones in the center of the back running straight up and down, thereby giving a more perfect iit to the natural form, as when cut straight in the back it requires the drawing' of the lacings in order to produce 3J lll?. l

This improvement does away with the corset open in the back, and its many objectionable features.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

As a new article of manufacture, a corset havingl the back-pieces cut goring, and joined together in the manner described, the bones arranged to extend perpendicularly in the center of the back and provided with side lacings, all substantially as shown and described.
